I tried searching the forums, but not sure what you would call this. They're the latches or plastic bolts on the rear door that hold the spare tire cover. 2 of mine busted, they keep popping out because of the super stiff suspension. I just need to know the "proper" name so I can search for replacements, thanks

If you still have all the pieces, you can repair them by gluing in a wooden dowell of the right diameter. Even if you replace them, you should do the wooden dowel thing because they WILL break again.

BTW, there is a member here who sells metal replacement ones as well:

They only break when you torque them to much. Should only be like finger tight

But then they work loose in a week a very poor design along with doors that are too short and seatbelts that flip so they do not retract
